SOME OLD SUNDAY CUSTOMS
IN CONNECTICUT.

In Connecticut, perhaps more than any
where else, Sunday was a sort of popular
idol, nor did the rigor of its observance
abate perceptibly until long after the
Revolution, This extreme scrupulosity
about Sabbath keeping was doubtless the
moving cause of the building of the
" Sabbath day houses" these were little
shanties standing on the meeting. house
green, each intended to accommodate a
family during the interval between the
two services Some Sabbath day houses
were built with stall at one end to shell
ter the horse, while the family took shell
ter in the other, where there was CHM
ney and meagre furniture of rude seats
and table. Here on arrival, before the
first service, the owners lighted fire and
deposited their luncheon, and to this
camp-like place they came back to eat
their dough-nuts and thaw themselves
out after their first long sitting in the
arctic climate of the meeting house.
Sometimes two families had Sabbath
day house together; sometimes there
were two rooms in Sabbath. day house
that the sexes might sit apart-for moth
ing so agreeable as converse between
boys and girls was permitted during the
consecrated time. But some parishes in
Massachusetts, and perhaps elsewhere,
had common "noon hour" for all COM
ers to rest in. Fireeide assemblages on
Sunday, whether in the parsonage or
noon.house, were in danger of proving
delightful to those who were prone to
enjoy the society Of other human beings,
and hence the pastors were put upon
their best contrivances, "to have most OF
the interval between the services filed
up with reading aloud edifying books
and other exercises calculated to keep the
mind IN becomingly irksome frame" -

La the Spectator Of July 26, 1714, there
is an amusing account Of typical quack
of the period, and Steele has recorded
some capital anecdotes Of these gentry.
One OF them claimed he could cure cata-
racts. " because he had lost an eye in the
emperor's service" This evidence OF
ability was thought all sufficient by
the good people who patronized him.
One fellow, calling himself Katterfelto,
travelled about with q large cage contain
ing a number of black cate, which seemed
equal TO modern diploma in the way of
inspiring confidence in his powers.
The great London quack of the time OF
Charles Ii. was DIR. Thomas Ssffold. He
was originally weaver, but adopted the
more paying business OF pretending to
cure all diseases and protesting to fore
tell the destines of his patients. The
apothecaries Of that time not only acted
as medical quRcks, but also as fortune.
